FCS Systems of Systems Engr & Program Mgmt

Abstract

This Program Element (PE) includes contractor and government scope to ensure that the Army is fielding platforms, components and software that are integrated together to provide increased capability for the soldier that are supportable and trainable. The PE includes effort associated with developing the infrastructure, architecture, and design of the Army?s integrated network. This project includes the following government effort: System of system architecture and design standards for the Army, BCT Integration, BCT simulation, BCT testing and experimentation, BCT logistics, and BCT training. This project includes support to other DOD agencies for joint programs and collaboration efforts with PEO Integration and Capability Package portfolio integration. Beginning in FY 2010, this Program Element includes all SoS (engineering, test, logistics, training and program management) cost associated with IBCT Increment 1 and future BCT Integration, experimentation, and test. Beginning in FY11 all prime contractor fee is moved to appropriate platform funding Program Element. Beginning in FY12 platform System Engineering & Program Management is accounted for in the appropriate platform funding Program Element. The Government support costs includes funding for government personnel labor, travel, training, supplies, other support costs (support contractors, Automated Data Processing (ADP), communications, supplies, and equipment), and platform unique testing. Immediately after the completion of SoS PDR, all remaining FCS Brigade Combat Team (BCT) effort was terminated in FY10. System Engineering efforts to support the future BCT Modernization efforts will continue through the Network CDR. After completion of the Network CDR the remaining contractor system of system engineering effort will be terminated and transferred to the government in logical cost effective manner. The government will then manage all system of system engineering requirements and efforts for the Army to ensure the most cost effective and timely management of integration activities and BCT fieldings. Supports other services for Joint Programs, Multinational Project Arrangements, and collaborative efforts. Includes the procurement of Government Furnished Equipment/Items/Data/property (GFX). GFX is used when procurement of an item is not available to the contractor other than through the Government, or the Government can provide this service or item at lower cost. FY11 funding represented in this document does not reflect the restructure to the program as a result of the recently signed Acquisition Decision Memorandum
